Binary and Hexadecimal Concepts

This video explores the relationship between binary (base 2) and hexadecimal (base 16) number systems, highlighting how hexadecimal serves as a condensed form of binary. It provides a detailed example of converting a binary number to hexadecimal, explaining the significance of place values and the ease of conversion between these bases without using decimal. The video emphasizes the relevance of these systems in computer science and engineering.

What is the base of the binary number system?

• Base 16

• Base 2
